Second Eurographics Workshop on
O B J E C T O R I E N T E D G R A P H I C S
===============================================
CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
The Netherlands, 5-7 June 1991
AIMS AND SCOPE:
Object Oriented Methods are particularly applicable to Computer Graphics in
its broadest sense -- in human computer interaction, in image synthesis, in
dynamic graphics and in CAD. Research in computer graphics has also lead
to a critique of object oriented theory. The workshop is part of a
continuing series allowing researchers to pool ideas and to address common
problems. The previous workshop identified a number of fundamental issues
for resolution. These included:
o Constraints for graphics systems and their inclusion in the object
oriented paradigm.
o Relationships between declarative and object oriented approaches to
graphics.
o The integration of dataflow methods and 'objectified' messages.
o Usefulness of inheritance hierarchies. The use of prototypes and
delegation.
o Abstractions for modelling complex objects (e.g., part hierarchies).
o What multiple views of objects are, and how they may be implemented.
o The need for object oriented graphics standards (new API) and
systems.
Papers are solicited which address these or other fundamental issues
arising from the use of object oriented methods in computer graphics. The
discussions could lead to extensions to the papers or to the formulation of
research programmes to address remaining unresolved problems.
FULL PAPERS:
Please submit 4 copies of a full paper (15-25 single sided pages, < 10000
words, 200 word abstract) for review by the programme committee. Papers
accepted for the workshop will be reproduced in the proceedings.
Invitations to submit revised versions for a book (in the Eurographic-
Seminars Series of Springer) will depend on the quality of the
contributions.
POSITION PAPERS:
Taking part is also possible if you submit a brief position paper (1-2
pages) stating your view on some relevant issues. Invitations will be sent
at least a month before the workshop. Early position papers have priority
and will be printed in the (pre-)proceedings.
WORKSHOP FORMAT:
The workshop is limited to about 60 participants. Full papers will be
presented to the plenum, while specialized groups will be formed for
discussion sessions.
SCHEDULE:
31 January 1991 Deadline for full paper.
12 April 1991 Deadline for position paper to be included with
preprints.
Notification of outcome of review of full papers.
4 May 1991 Latest date for position papers for admission to
workshop.
5-7 June 1991 WORKSHOP
9 August 1991 Deadline for revised final paper for book.
VENUE AND FEE:
The workshop will be held in the Netherlands. The fee will be about HFL
850, including accommodation and meals. Students without access to other
funds could be subsidized.
ORGANIZATION:
The workshop is organized by the CWI (Dutch Centre for Mathematics and
Computer Science) and promoted by Eurographics. It is chaired by Edwin
Blake (CWI) and Chris Laffra (Leiden University).
